A Walk in the Woods

I took this photo Thursday afternoon while walking down a trail through the woods at home. It is, in my opinion, one of the most peaceful places on Earth. It's far enough away from the road that you can't hear any cars, all you hear is the nature around you. There is a lot of different wildlife in our area, and the most prominent would be the deer and coyote populations. These two populations share the same area and have a predation relationship. Coyotes will hunt and eat a large amount of deer, to the point the coyotes populations are having to be regulated. The larger the population of coyotes the less deer you will see in that year, and at the same time the less coyotes the larger your deer population is something that I have watched happen for as long as I can remember, and I think it's amazing to watch the two population densities go back and forth and how they affect one another. It is also interesting to not only see how they affect each other, but how the human element interfering also affects them.
